SIR ALEX FERGUSON believes Manchester United will strengthen sufficiently this summer to extend their title tally to 20 as he looks to continue the club’s dominance over Liverpool.

When Alex Ferguson arrived at United in 1986, his main intention was to cut the Anfield club down to size. A fourth league title in five years ensured that Manchester United finally moved above the Merseyside club’s tally of 18 last month.

But Ferguson maintains United will only use last season as a basis to move forward, with ambitious plans in the transfer market.

Edwin van der Sar, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville have all retired and Ferguson knows how he wants to replace them.

Atletico Madrid keeper David de Gea is set to sign and as well as stepping up their interest in Aston Villa’s Ashley Young, United are also monitoring Luka Modric and Wesley Sneijder.

Ferguson said: “This is a particularly special one because it means we’ve won the title more than anyone in the country.

It was Liverpool’s time in the Eighties, it’s our time now

“It’s history and it’s great for the tradition of this club.

“The players have been great. They deserved it because there were a lot of great performances.

“It was Liverpool’s time in the Eighties, it’s our time now.

“I’m looking at maybe three signings, which would boost our overall quality in the team.

“We’ve got some excellent young players, many of whom have progressed this season but we’ve got some ideas in mind and hopefully we can get them put in place.”
